Probiotics?
Perhaps the mild downturn I experienced is from stress or the new probiotics I got last week? I ran out of the Jarrowdopholus eps 20bil. and bought renew life ultimate flora (high lacto) and have been taking one a morning.
Gas? Beans?
I'm a bit nervous tonight because I've been having copious gas, but that's what happens after eating beans which I had for dinner tonight... to normal digestive systems... wild.
